The aim of the Cumberland Atelier is to provide consistent, personalized instruction to the individual student in the context of the classical tradition, so that he or she may translate that training fluently into his or her own work.

We at The Cumberland Atelier believe that creativity is supported by knowledge; that on a foundation of understanding, artists can spread their wings and fly. Our goal is to provide that foundation of the requisite skills in drawing and painting, both conceptually and practically. We work with talented people of all ages, nurturing and instructing them in the basics such as anatomy, color theory, proportion, perspective and composition.

Gayle Levée

Senior Artist and Founder

Gayle Levée is a third-generation artist whose classical training began during childhood.Her parents were both artists, as was her grandfather. Levée majored in painting at the University of Denver. In her early twenties, she moved East.

In New England, Gayle joined the Copley Society and studied under Robert Douglas Hunter. Her new work was quickly recognized by galleries in Boston, on Cape Cod, in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont and the Central South. Collectors from coast to coast have bought her work, which has won awards throughout the United States.

Levée's workshops in the Boston School of painting have been featured in American Artist magazine and Fine Art Connoisseur. Recently her work was featured in American Art Review, along with that of her mentor, Robert Douglas Hunter.

Levée conducts an atelier program in Franklin TN. Her program emphasises sight-size and proportional drawing, Boston School color theory, composition and brushwork. She encourages her students to work from life, especially to practise outdoor drawing and plein air painting. This program is suitable for adults, and includes a weekly mentorship as well as online courses.

Her work is currently available through Bayview Galleries Maine, Tree's Place Gallery on Cap Cod, Bryan Memorial Gallery Vermont, and Church Street Gallery Nashville South.
